Here’s some big time news for small tire and radial racers. WELD Racing has released the Alpha 1, a companion product to its revolutionary Delta 1 that changed the world of nitro and pro stock racing. The design principles are the same but the sizes are designed to meet the needs of small tire competitors. 15″ diameter and widths from 10-16 inches.
This is awesome and perhaps even more importantly it speaks to the evolution of that part of drag racing, right? Specific products now being engineered to make those cars faster and those drivers more in control. The Delta 1 and its hubbies design changed the way that huge power drag racers looked at wheels. We cannot help but think the same thing is due to happen with the release of the Alpha 1. Awesome!
